msrnivsnve DEVICE A pplication filed Hay B, i929; SerialNo. 361,637..

The object of my invention is to provide a shaving-brushappliance in thenature of a dispensing member for dispensing shaving cream fromacontain'er to a shaving brush. 7 One object "of the invention istoprovid'e a device of the character described adapted to be attached tothe end of a tube of shaving creamand provided with a valvemechanism forcontrolling the dispensing passage by a single rotating movement.Another object of the invention is to provide an adapter" nippleWherebythe device may be attached to different sized shaving cream tubesor containers.

' Accordingly my invention is embodied in a brush appliance ordispensing device adapted to be attached to a tube of shaving cream andarranged as disclosedin the following specification read in connectionwith the accompanying drawing in Which v I Figure 1 is a. vert cal sectthe device showing the valveclosed.

Figure 2 is a similar View showing the valve open. W

Figures 3 and 4 aresectional views taken I respectively on the lines 33and i -4 of Figures'l and 2. p 4

Figure 5 is a sectional View of the adapter nipple. i My shaving brushappliance is adapted to be attached to the usual commercial tube 10 ofshaving cream having a dispensing neck 11. Inasmuch as the dispensingend and neck of the tube may vary more or less in accordance With thedesigns of diflerent manufactures, I provide an adapter nipple Fig. 5,having a' flaring threaded mouth 12 adapted to fit a standard make oftube The nipple is further threaded exteriorly at 13 to fitthe shavingbrush device virrespective of the dimensions of thettube. In otherWords, the

'levice carrying or attaching portion 14" of the adapter will bestandard, While the mouths Will differ depending upon the. dimensions ofthe tube.

In this manner the device'may be standard for all size tubes. 2Referring now to the other figures, the

adapter supports a base member 15 havinga central passage 16 and formedwith'a flange ionalview through 17 tl orming a trough. The base. carriesa. tooth 18 and is recessed to recelve a base member 19 cemented orotherwise secured 111 the passage20 and a ninety degree circular slot orgroove 21. The base memberis also formed with an annular fiange22.

recess and provided with an offset dispensing- The passage of creamlfromthe tube through the passages 16 and 20 are controlled by a valve head23 to which there-is secured a sleeve 24'l1aving an annular flange 25which rotates on the base 15 below the basemember valve head 23 has anoffset passage 27 and a pin 28 adapted to move vin the aforesaid groove21. The valvehead carries. a circular shaving brush 29. The valve headpassage 27 leads to theinterior of the brushl Inassembling the device,the base member 19 is dropped into the sleeve 24, the flange 22 restingon the flange 25'. The member 19 is flange 22. The sleeve 24 hasa tooth26. 'The a then placed onthe base and may eith'erlbe driven in tight inthe recessedlbase .or, othervvise secured thereto "in*nonrotatablerelatio'n; 'lhereafter the head 23islplacedWithin th e sleeve 24 withpin 28 Withinthe groove2'l, and the head and the sleeve/are thensecui.'ecltogetlier in non-rotatable relation. j It will therefore beunderstood that after assembly th'ejhead23 and s1eev'e24n'10ve to getherasone part with respect to the base i and member-'19; Which-lattertivoelements locked tog'ether the flan es 22 and 25 and h'a'v'ea "relativerotary movement of ninety],

From, the" foregoing it will be cle'ar'that the assembled device isattached'to the tube a constituteanother part. The two parts are al idenotes a cap ivhich I fits by'screv'vingthe adapter on tothefla'tterandl then sc'revvin'gthe'. device onto the adapter.

When thereafterthe head is turned so as w liri'ngthejtwolteeth intoalinement,'the cap may be afiixed andpushed down into position,

the notch 31 titting over the teeth. In this position, Figure l, thevalve head 23 is locked with respect to the base and the upper passage27 is cut oil from the lower passage 20,

- consequently cream cannot pass into the brush the latter, it will beseen, the two passages 27 and 20 are in con'nnunication andcream may nowpass to the brush.

In other \YOltlS, a simple ninety degrees movement closes the dispensingdevice or opens up a pass go for the cream to the ln'nsh. During use,the flange IJT prevents water from running from the brush down over thehand of the user. After use, the valve is closed and the cap put on toloci: the valve in closed position. v

In the appended claims I wish it understood that the two parts, the base15 and the member 19, together are called a base, and the two parts, thehead 28 and the sleeve 2%, together are called a brush holding valvemember. Also that I reserve the right to make changes in theconstruction of the device without thereby departing from the scope ofthe claims.

I claim:

1. In a shaving brush device, a base having a dispensing passage, avalve head also having a dispensing passage, means for securing the saidhead to the said base, said head being capable of assuming twopredetermined positions on the base in one of which the said twopassages are in communication and in the other ot which position thesaid two passages are non-connnunicating, means,

for locking the head and the base in non-movable relation when the saidtwo passages are in non-com1m1nicating position and means for securingthe device to a container.

2. In a shaving brush device, an adapter for securing the device to acontainer, :1 base secured to the adapter and having an otl'et passage,a valve head ah-ro having an ofisv passage, means for mounting saidvalve head on the base in rotatable relation, means for moving said headon the said base to cause the said two passages to register ornon-register at will and. a cap for locking the said head and base withtheir passages in non registering positions.

3. In a shaving brush device, a dispensing base having a tooth, a basemember therein having an offset dispensing passage and an overhangingannular flange, a sleeve having a tooth mounted to rotate on said basememher and provided With an annular flange engaging under the flangeaforesaid, a valve head secured to said sleeve and having an engage saidgroove, a cap adapted to engage the said two teeth when alined forlocking the said. sleeve and head to the said base and base member withthe said two passages in non-registering relation and means for securingthe device to a container in dispensing relation thereto.

4. In a shaving brush device, a dispensing member having a dispensingpassage, a head mounted on said member and having a dispensing passage,means for rotating the head on the dispensing member to cause the saidtwo passages to register and for moving them into non-registeringrelation, a tooth on said member and on the said head, a removable capFor enclosing said member and for engaging the said two teeth to preventthe said. two passag res from r ring and an adapter for securing saiddnspensing member to a con tainer having a dispensing neck of a givensize.
